The Man Inside The Novel He speaks to me on pages, the black ink embedded on white. Like a galaxy of stars glittering, twinkling, rescuing me from yet another lonely night. This man that was created in another's fairytale illusion, the chapters weave a story transporting me from reality to sweet confusion. For practicality must keep us grounded, in this world where happy endings are rare to exist. The pages brimming with passion and magic, indelibly painting a saga that in this pragmatic world, I feel I have missed This undaunting hero, who slays all the dragons and gallantly whisks the maiden to her dreams never before realized. He holds her close in a Prince's embrace, leaving her fulfilled, mezmerized. Whether an Antebellum mansion adorned in history, or a southsea island bountiful of sun-kissed beaches, this mystic traveler of fables and fantasies, takes his captive audience where only their imagination is their vehicle, to their deepest reaches. And so, I will revel in this moment, and all the beauty and hopes that await, or so it seems. I will close my book, and close my eyes... ...and see you in my dreams. |

Athena4~ This is really lovely. The title captured me ... and the poem held me. Nicely done. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I often wonder which is more enjoyable -- to write it or to read it? You've painted some capturing thoughts here, Elise. Like with a good film, when you come across something to which you can relate, you find yourself lost in that pocket of time where it's your personal story you're experiencing for that brief but precious moment... -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Sandra, It seems we are always searching for that man inside the novel. Will he ever materialize? Love, Elise |

Mark, Thank you. I'm not sure which is more enjoyable either, writing it or reading it. I do know experiencing it in the tangible sense would be best of all! Elise |
